History PimpedOutDress / VideoGames

** Ina, also from the second game, wears [[http://chungkingangel.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/record_of_agarest_war2_ina_chara_art.jpg a red and black bodice]] and NiceHat each with gold trimming, and a short cape with gold trimming. Her pleated skirt is the most modest part of the dress.

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyType0'' has some. [[http://www.finalfantasy-fxn.net/images/media/4f87c4aa_Final-Fantasy-Type-0-Art-Book-Caetuna.jpg Caetuna wears]] a black underdress with a multi-colored overdress, gold trimming, a red bustier with brocade, frills on the shoulders and cuffs, a red cape, and the overskirt cut in leaf-like layers. [[http://www.finalfantasy-fxn.net/images/media/4f87c497_Final-Fantasy-Type-0-Art-Book-Andoria.jpg Queen Andoria wears]] a blue dress where the blue goes in a gradient that turns white at the bottom, the shoulders have several layers of fabric, hanging sleeves, a fancy embroidered design on the chest, a thick belt with a clover-like design, and [[NiceHat a huge circular headdress]] that flares out like a skirt and has a huge strip of fabric hanging from the back. The Divas wear frilly, lacy dresses that can be seen on the games' logo.

* Annie wears some fancy dresses in ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends''. There is her green "Prom Queen" dress, her [[AnIceSuit Frostfire dress]] is trimmed with [[PrettyInMink white fur]] and [[NiceShoes white fur boots]], and her pink dress with the loads of frills and ruffles.

* In ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' Princess Peach's [[PrincessesPreferPink pink]] dress started out pretty simple, but as graphics advanced, it got more pimped out. First was a small overskirt and a brooch over her chest. Now in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', her dress has several layers of overskirts, lace trim, pleats, and gold decorations, which were never in the Mario games.

** [[http://www.growlanser-realm.com/officialart/chara/misha.jpg Misha]] wears a white and orange dress that gold trimming and SkirtOverSlacks where most of the skirt is translucent.

** In ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'', [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/1/18/XY_Valerie.png Valerie]] has a dress with ''giant'' HandHidingSleeves that look like wings, along with tassels and a corset. The in-game television show "Gym Freaks", which gives [[AllThereInTheManual supplemental information about the Gym Leaders]], reveals that it weighs 33 pounds.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon'' has a few dresses, such as worn by the princess sisters Emille and Lisa. Emille's dress is red with an almost white skirt, and Lisa's dress is orange and yellow with gold decorations. Shana even [[SheCleansUpNicely wears a pretty white dress]] with HighClassGloves near the end of disc 2, and she and Dart kiss for the first time.

* Although it's only seen as a sprite, the Ribbon Laced Dress by Lapin Angelique in ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' qualifies.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** Princess Zelda didn't have a defined or even fancy dress, at least in-game, until ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', although the dress appeared [[AllThereInTheManual in the instructions]] for ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', and became her standard dress since. The dress itself has a pink-to-purple top half with a gold emblem over the chest, a white-to-rose skirt with a banner showing Hyrule heraldry hanging from a golden belt, and her golden diadem with a massive jewel (usually red) at the center. She almost always wears HighClassGloves, gold shoulder guards attached to her chest emblem, and occasionally a cape. The younger Zeldas don't wear the big Triforce-shaped earrings that the older Zeldas do. ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' Zelda wears two sets of smaller earrings and has the most GemEncrusted, pimped out dress of all.
*** Defied in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'', as noted in ''Literature/HyruleHistoria''. She isn't a princess in that game, so her first outfit is a pretty casual dress, designed to be simple yet establish her as a heroine at the same time. After TheReveal, she dons a simple white dress with sandals, as one director requested her to be dressed "simply, and in white".
*** The Zelda in ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'' wears a [[PrincessesPreferPink pink dress]] with a wide bell skirt, white ribbon trimming the bottom of the skirt, and little puff sleeves.
*** The GBA remake of ''A Link To The Past'' gives her sprite the fancy dress from the instructions.
*** Zig-zagged by ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild''. While Zelda does have a fancy blue dress, she rarely wears it, opting instead for comparatively simple traveling clothes (completely with pants) [[spoiler:and a fairly simple white ceremonial dress]].
** From ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'', a grand dress is worn by Mila until her family loses its fortune, and that very dress is worn by Maggie when her family becomes rich.
** And also from ''Twilight Princess'', there is Princess Agatha's bug-themed dress, that has pink, blue, and white layers, netting over the pink, butterfly wings, and a pink headband. A ParasolOfPrettiness tops it off.
* In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'''s "Shivering Isles" expansion, the "Finery" items show up as pimped out dresses on a female character.
* In ''VideoGame/DisneyPrincessEnchantedJourney'', this is present on you, the Disney Princesses, and the villain, Zara.

* In ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' Princess Peach's [[PrincessesPreferPink pink]] dress started out pretty simple, but as graphics advanced, it got more pimped out. First was a small overskirt and a brooch over her chest. Now in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', her dress has several layers of overskirts, lace trim, pleats, and gold decorations.

** In ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'', [[spoiler: Iris is now the Champion, and to go along with her new rank, now]] wears a pretty cool pink dress with a tiara and white sandals.

* In ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSinII'', LizardFolk generally wear the most opulent gowns, headdresses, and jewellery they can; one NPC recounts how Hannag [[ThinkingUpPortals appeared out of nowhere]] at his rural home in "incredible" {{gold|MakesEverythingShiny}}en robes, while PC gear tends toward ornamented BlingOfWar. In lore, the Lizards place great importance on taking care of their bodies, so clothing is a way to show them off.

* Elaine Marley of the ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'' games wears two dresses. One is at the end of ''VideoGame/TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland'', [[spoiler:when Elaine is in a FairytaleWeddingDress similar to WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'s from Disney, with a [[FlowerInHerHair white flower tiara]] instead of a wedding veil on her head, as she and Guybrush are now HappilyMarried and [[RidingIntoTheSunset sailing off into the sunset]]]]. The other is in ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland'' Chapter 5, [[spoiler:when she willingly becomes [=LeChuck=]'s demon bride and gets a {{Goth}}ic version of a LittleBlackDress (complete with a [[{{Stripperific}} revealing]] GemEncrusted [[ImpossiblyLowNeckline black bustier/corset]] worn under a see-through sheer black fabric sleeveless blouse with a black sash belt, a dark gray broomstick skirt and black dress boots, along with gem encrusted black gloves, and an [[HypnoTrinket eerie-glowing black]] [[RequisiteRoyalRegalia tiara]]), which she wears through the remainder of the game, even when she is reverted to her no-longer demonic self]].

Dusk of Oolacile wears a light golden dress with pearls, a petticoat, puff sleeves, OperaGloves, and a laces shoulder cape.

** [[http://www.growlanser-realm.com/officialart/chara/annette.jpg Anette]] wears a red and white dress with giant poofy sleeves, gold buttons and edging, and the short frilled skirt flares out to the sides almost like a disk. She also wears a state outfit that is a conventional white dress with frills and OperaGloves.

* The "Princess 30" sections of both ''VideoGame/HalfMinuteHero'' games show the princesses wearing elaborate orange and white dresses. [[http://www.rpgfan.com/pics/Half_Minute_Hero/art-004.jpg The princess of the first game]] wears a dress with OperaGloves, frill trimming on the collar, a two-tiered overskirt with frill trimming, and multi-tiered flounced petticoat, golden stomacher, and a GiantWaistRibbon.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon'' has a few dresses, such as worn by the princess sisters Emille and Lisa.

[[http://odinsphere.wikia.com/wiki/File:VelvetImage.JPG Velvet]] wears a red and black MiniDressOfPower, with gold decorations, puff sleeves, and a ShowgirlSkirt.

The younger Zeldas don't wear the big Triforce-shaped earrings that the older Zeldas do. ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' Zelda wears two sets of smaller earrings and has the most GemEncrusted, pimped out dress of all.

* Quite a few in the ''Franchise/TalesSeries'' games, whether it's a player character or NPC.

** Princess Sara in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'', at least the VideoGameRemake on the {{DS}}, wears a dress of several shades of blue, a long overdress, and an underskirt of blue and gold. Some of Refia's class outfits in the remake look like fancy dresses, while they look like robes on the other characters.

* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''

** Defied in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'', according to Hyrule Historia. She isn't a princess in that game, so her first outfit is a pretty casual dress, designed to be simple yet establish her as a heroine at the same time. After TheReveal, she dons a simple white dress with sandals, as one director requested her to be dressed "simply, and in white".
** The princess in ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'' wears a [[PrincessesPreferPink pink dress]] with a wide bell skirt, white ribbon trimming the bottom of the skirt, and little puff sleeves.
** The GBA remake of ''A Link To The Past'' also gives her sprite the fancy dress from the instructions.

* ''VideoGame/ArTonelico2'' has some. Cloche wears [[http://artonelico.wikia.com/wiki/File:Chroche.jpg a double layer dress]], that has a short blue underdress, a longer overdress, and [[FluffyFashionFeathers loads of white feathers]] trimming her gloves. It turns out she doesn't know at first how to take the dress off without help.

* Princess Zelda of ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' didn't have a defined or even fancy dress, at least in-game, until ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', although the dress appeared [[AllThereInTheManual in the instructions]] for ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', and became her standard dress since.

''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' Zelda wears two sets of smaller earrings and has the most GemEncrusted, pimped out dress of all.

** The heroine of ''FinalFantasyCrystalChroniclesMyLifeAsADarklord'' wears a dress that is black and purple on one side and white and pink on the other, both with lots of frills, and gold trimming on the light side.

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChroniclesCrystalBearers'', after [[spoiler:Althea]] is revealed as a princess, she wears a yellow and orange dress with frill trimming, puff sleeves, and a leaf motif on the skirt.

* In ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' Princess Peach's [[PrincessesPreferPink pink]] dress started out pretty simple, but as graphics advanced, it got more pimped out. First was a small overskirt and a brooch over her chest. Now in ''SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', her dress has several layers of overskirts, lace trim, pleats, and gold decorations.

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', Celes wore a white dress when impersonating Maria. The game sprites showed mainly a white dress with the skirt open to reveal the petticoat, but the FMV in the UpdatedRerelease on the {{Playstation}} showed the dress as an 18th century style dress, that had loads of frills, lace, and embroidery, with a small box at the center of the scooped neckline.

* Princess Rozalin's dress in ''VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories'' just might be the most extravagant out in the ''{{Franchise/Disgaea}}'' series, which is a series not hurting for fancy costumes in the first place. It's loaded with petticoats, flounces, DetachedSleeves, ribbons, pearls, jewels, bows, jewel encrusted bows, gold-laced shoes, wings (which, while not technically part of the costume, are held in a way to resemble the [[GiantPoofySleeves biggest shoulderpads]] known to man), and a matching [[PrincessesPreferPink pink]] designer gun. Plus [[ErmineCapeEffect she wears that outfit anywhere]], even [[KickingAssInAllHerFinery into battle]].
